Our Philosophy

MHSA: A Foundation Built on Ethics

Ethics & Integrity

MHSA has worked tirelessly over the years to earn its reputation as a trusted and honest broker/advocate in state government. MHSA's client service is second to none - as is our commitment to the highest ethical standards. Our superior ethical conduct forms not only the foundation of our company, but reflects upon the reputation of our clients and our own families.

Current MHSA clients include corporations, non-profit organizations, health care providers, social service agencies, universities, governmental bodies, and a wide spectrum of highly-successful organizations. The fact that multinational companies such as Delta Air Lines, Genentech, Inc., Jackson National Life and IGT turn to MHSA for advice is a convincing indication of the firm's history, expertise and integrity.

Bipartisan Approach to Advocacy

Due to our time-tested philosophy of maintaining strong relationships with both sides of the aisle, MHSA is uniquely prepared to be a powerful advocate for our clients regardless of the individual or party that controls the executive and legislative branches of government. Today, and in the future, MHSA has the expertise to "open new doors" and put our clients' interests on the decision-making table.

Personalized Service and Communication

MHSA’s clients range in size from Fortune 500 companies to non-profit organizations or small start-up companies and MHSA serves them all, regardless of size, with an equal commitment and sense of urgency to their specific needs. Depending on the expertise required, MHSA clients have access to all six professional lobbyists on staff and their individual areas of knowledge and skill. MHSA services include regular communication regarding relevant legislative and administrative actions, including an immediate alert and distribution by MHSA of newly introduced legislative proposals identified as having critical importance to the organization. MHSA clients also receive a monthly listing, specialized for each client, of all bills MHSA is lobbying in the Legislature, including the status and a brief description of each.

MHSA clients receive a weekly newsletter, This Week in Lansing, which highlights the latest major legislative, administrative and regulatory activity, providing clients with an up-to-date overview of the environment within which their issues are being considered.
